Turns out the issue with my Micro.blog mini podcast feed was, of course, the artwork. 🤦‍♂️ I should’ve known. (Wrong size / ratio for Apple.) So I went out into my cabin and took a quick selfie with my fav toque to use instead.

This is the perfect tiktok. (That would’ve been even better on Vine RIP)


A Test Of My Microblog Podcasting System

It’s been over a month and Apple podcast Connect still hasn’t approved this podcast to be viewed in Apple Podcasts so I’m testing out this episode to see if I can get it to work.

Just a reminder that if you’re going to “friend request” me on Discord, Xbox, iOS Game Centre, Friendster, Foursquare, Dribbble, Untappd, Letterboxd, Geocities, or Hotmail you need to tell me that it’s you.

I can’t recognize MASTERCHIEF213 as “Dave” I know from Twitter.


I saw a tiktok where the person referenced an Epstein related person as a “PDF file”, presumably to get around the algorithm punishing them if they said pedophile and now I just want to think of it as that: he’s a PDF file. 😂


Fortnite requiring basically a full download of the game for an update is unnecessarily cruel when I have work to get done and can’t afford to wait for an hour and a half for it to update. 😜


In order to understand why evangelical Christians were so concerned about U2 in the 90s, you really need to look no further than this moment in their ‘97 Popmart concert video.

Basically everything in Revelations come true. 😆

My biz site’s contact form is constantly spammed into non-usability and I keep missing people reaching out. It’s WordPress, with Akismet anti-spam turned on… what are the cool kids using these days?


One of my favourite benefits of working from home is being able to make a fried egg on toast for lunch if I feel like it.

Crowdstrike CEO: “I’ll pay a billion dollars for something crazy to happen in US Politics this weekend. I don’t care what it is, just make it big.”


I’m at Costco. Let me know if you want me to pickup some jumbo muffins we can stress eat while the world gives us daily BREAKING NEWS updates.


Aw dang I lost my 322 day reading streak on Readwise and now I don’t want to read anymore. 😢

Whenever I say I bought Rogue Amoeba’s Loopback software, people ask what I use it for. It’s a bit of an odd tool in the macOS toolkit, so I thought I’d do a quick demo of why I still think it’s a great one to have on the Mac. Here’s the video.


I tried a mini-rant on YouTube that I normally would’ve just thrown on TikTok without any editing. I’m not sure if I can commit to it regularly, but it was fun to try. Watch over here.


Pretty great deal on the Elgato Stream Deck + audio mixer at Amazon Canada if you’ve been looking to try a Stream Deck.


Well… that’s not how I usually grind coffee beans. 🤦

I don’t know what the right thing is exactly, but it feels odd that Tenacious D would shut everything down over a bad improv joke about a former President dying, when that former President has said so many more heinous and disgusting things without so much as an apology.
